About to start its 100th year, The Ontario Club is one of Canada's premier private clubs. Located at 1 King Street West in the heart of Toronto's financial district, The Ontario Club remains an essential venue and resource for anyone wishing to enhance their professional and personal lives.

After more than 35 years at its previous location, The Ontario Club moved in March 2007, and is now in operation at its new location at 1 King Street West. It occupies part of the 12th and 13th floors of the historic Dominion Bank of Canada building, designed by architects Darling & Pearson, who also designed such Toronto landmarks as the Royal Ontario Museum. Constructed in 1914 as the head office of The Dominion Bank of Canada, the building was at one time one of the tallest in Toronto.

The space the Club occupies on the 12th and 13th floors was originally the executive offices of the Dominion Bank, and has been lovingly preserved and restored with a historic designation. It includes meeting rooms and a soaring gallery where the bank's secretaries and junior executives once toiled under the watchful eye of the bank chairman. Today it is perfectly suited to the needs of a private club.

The Ontario Club was founded in 1909, and in 1913 the first permanent club house was opened at 16 Wellington Street in Toronto. The ribbon was cut by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's 6th Prime Minister. Until World War II, The Ontario Club was home to many Liberal politicians, including many Senators and Cabinet Ministers. Following the War, the Ontario Club ceased to have any official political affiliation, and became the Club of choice for many of Toronto's professionals and business leaders. In 1968 The Ontario Club sold its original premises to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce so the landmark Commerce Court could be built on its site.

While maintaining a traditional Club atmosphere, the Ontario Club was one of the first to break many antiquated Club barriers. For decades The Ontario Club has encouraged young men and women to join and use the Club as a worthwhile addition to their social and professional lives. Even though The Ontario Club is home to some of Canada's most prominent business leaders, there is an openness and collegiality among our members that is unique among private clubs. 

The Ontario Club is also home to Toronto's diplomatic community. The Toronto Consular Corps and international trade representatives meet regularly and host many official cultural and diplomatic functions at the Club. We are very much enriched by their presence. In addition, Club Las Americas was started in 2003 by The Ontario Club to provide Toronto's Central and South American business and cultural community with a home and focus for their many activities.

In 1992 the Engineers' Club joined the Ontario Club, and brought with it many prominent members of Canada's mining and financing community. The main atrium of the Club is decorated with their art collection in honour of their contribution to the life of the Ontario Club. 

As one of Canada's finest clubs, our attention to detail and commitment to service are legendary. The Ontario Club's excellent cuisine and hospitality is second to none. Whether you are a young professional building your career or a senior executive enjoying your success, membership in The Ontario Club offers a host of services and opportunities to benefit both your professional and personal life.

The Ontario Club currently has over 1,200 members ranging in age from 20 to 90, and is affiliated with over 600 prestigious private clubs worldwide.
